Alpendorf Property Insight

There are a number of charming resorts in the Austrian alps, and Alpendorf is one of the most picturesque and beautiful.

Located just 55km south of Salzburg, it’s set against one of the mountains and offers beautiful views of St Johann im Pongau, which is less than two miles away.

The Alpendorf district itself is located towards the National Park, and has a quite unique feel. The local scenery is awash with stunning greens in the summer, and it’s not hard to see why people choose to visit the area year after year.

Why take out property in Alpendorf?

There are few more suitable destinations for a holiday home than Alpendorf.

First things first, of course, the opportunities for skiing are remarkable. It’s known as the first entry point to the Salzburg Sportwelt and the Ski Amade, both areas renowned throughout the world for their skiing.

With 760 well-maintained slopes in the area and 270 active ski lifts, Alpendorf is a ski-lover’s paradise.

The area also offers a lot to non-skiers, especially in the summer months. You can enjoy jaw-dropping scenery whilst hiking, cycling or running through the countryside.

Austria’s own ‘Lake District’ – the Salzkammergut – is within easy reach, and offers some of the most stunning locations around, including the beautiful lakes of Mondsee, St Wolfgang and Hallstatt.

The nearby towns offer a lot of historical interest for visitors, too, with the Pongeauer Cathedral in particular attracting people all year round. There are also many local shops, which are perfect for those who love to spend an afternoon enjoying a wonder around the town.

What kinds of property are available in Alpendorf?

If you’re a savvy property investor, Alpendorf offers a huge amount of potential. It’s quite rare for properties to come up, but when they do they can represent an investment that’ll pay off for years to come.

A lot of properties in Alpendorf are villas or chalets, designed to be used as holiday homes either for tourists or for the owners themselves.

In terms of size and style, the properties can vary quite substantially. It’s possible to find smaller chalets, just as it’s possible to find four bedroom villas.

Prices, naturally, can also range. Some of the area’s more expensive properties are priced in the millions, but there are other properties available for less. The standard of property in the area is almost unrivalled, and is worthy of the higher price tag.

Architecture varies, though many of the chalets are designed in a traditional European style. Some of the more central properties – especially those designed specifically for tourists – have a more contemporary feel, however.
